NORTH CHARLESTON HIGH SCHOOL

A Message From the Principal

Dear North Charleston Parents, Guardians and Supporters,

It has been an amazing year here at North Charleston High School. The year began with a tumultuous selection of me as principal, but it has been the best year of my professional life. I am honored to serve as your children’s principal. The students are the best part of each day and I try my best to show that in each interaction I have with you.

North Charleston’s reputation has taken a beating over the years, but we are climbing out of the ditch and doing so with resolve and spirit. We have had several visitors: Mr. Art Shell (Pro Football Hall of Fame), Mr. Edward Gibson (Tuskegee Airman), Dr. Zais (State Superintendent) and many others. We have celebrated with a peace pole, won a state AA basketball championship, and hosted numerous activities. We have our lowest suspension rate ever recorded and our highest attendance rate. Our students are doing good things.

Please encourage your children to read over the summer. Reading is the most important activity they can do. Without reading, our students will suffer loss of essential skills due to the lack of brain exercise.  This is a significant concern and can be avoided. If students are challenged mentally at periods of time during the summer months, they can avoid losing critical knowledge. It is as easy as reading an interesting book, magazine, or the newspaper.

If you have any needs over the summer months, please do not hesitate to contact the school. Our hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 7:00 AM- 5:00 PM.

Thank you and have a great summer!

Mr. Robert Grimm, Principal
